An arduous battle.
High up in the sky, all kinds of magic and energy were mixed together. For a moment, it was difficult to detect the situation there. Then, a large number of things fell from the red mist, including Julien's broken staff, two unopened scrolls, and a space ring. With a wave of his hand, Ayi put away the scrolls and the space ring. He raised his iron branch as if he was facing a formidable enemy.
Enkidu was a pure warrior. After all, he couldn't fly. His burly figure finally fell from the sky, like a meteorite falling straight into the battle formation behind Ayi. Although Julien was dead, the magic she used before her death had blocked Enkidu. Otherwise, the supreme warrior would have been in big trouble if he had flown to the back and landed among the mages at the back of the battle formation!
Enkidu fell from the sky head first. Before he landed, arrows rained down from the sky. The warrior shouted. The snake scale armour on his body glowed brightly. There was a faint roar in the air, and the arrows bounced off before they could get close to him. When he was still ten feet from the ground, Enkidu suddenly punched the air.
The gauntlet emitted a golden light with a tail flame. The huge force hit the ground, smashing a shallow pit. Several chariots were smashed. Smoke and dust rose in all directions. More than a dozen soldiers directly below him were instantly killed, not even their corpses were left. This was his second punch. The supreme warrior used the recoil force to turn around in the air and land steadily. His burly figure was so flexible!
The surrounding soldiers were shaken by the impact of this punch. They couldn't stand steadily and were thrown off their horses. At this time, Ayi shouted: "Disperse!"
Letting ordinary soldiers surround the continent's number one warrior in close combat was simply throwing their lives away. Ordinary swords, spears, and arrows couldn't even get close to Enkidu's body. Moreover, they were in a charging formation. If they fought from the rear, the entire formation would be destroyed. No wonder Gilgamesh trusted Enkidu so much that he let him fall into the enemy's formation. This warrior was indeed fearless and could really take the head of a general in an army of ten thousand!
Gilgamesh shot out two arrows, one real and one fake. The fake arrow was real, and the real one was fake. The first arrow seemed to be powerful, but it was just a bluff. The second arrow was silent, but it suddenly sent Enkidu into the air above the enemy lines. The eighth-level supreme mage Julien was caught off guard and killed on the spot. This was also a silent declaration. If they were really the assassins at the blessing ceremony, would they have failed to assassinate him in such a way?
The surrounding chariots dispersed according to Ah's order, and the place where Enkidu landed became an empty space. Before the dust settled, a dazzling silver light with a tail feather came flying straight at Enkidu. It was Ayi who got out of his chariot and swung his iron staff down from the air.
He didn't use any fancy magic. Using any magic consumed magic power and required a moment of time. It might be useful against others, but against a supreme warrior who could break a hundred tricks with brute force, Ayi concentrated all his pure power and channeled all his magic power into his staff, launching the strongest blow of his life.
Enkidu's reaction was beyond imagination. He turned around and threw a third punch. Ayi held his staff with both hands in the air and hit Enkidu with the tip of the staff. But Enkidu suddenly jumped over at an incredible speed and the punch hit the staff between Ayi's hands.
Thanks to Crazy 'Ole, this magical staff made of Damasc steel was extraordinarily tough. When the golden glove hit it, the staff buzzed, but it was not broken. Ayi's ten fingers were numb, but he held the staff tightly and did not let it fall. The power of a supreme warrior was very similar to energy magic. The huge impact spread throughout his body, and Ayi's body seemed to be squeezed into pieces.
The scorpion shell armor on his body made a grinding sound, and a flowing black light burst out. The staff trembled violently. Ayi came from the air and flew into the air. He was punched by Enkidu and flew far into the middle of the battlefield, and the chariot formations on both sides had not yet collided.
Enkidu threw a total of three punches: the first punch killed the supreme mage Julien, which was equivalent to breaking the magic formation of Eygut's army; the second punch smashed an empty space in the enemy camp, almost disrupting the formation of the charging army; the third punch sent the enemy's commander flying out of the formation and landing in the middle of the battlefield where the battle was about to begin.
At this moment, the supreme mage George flew high into the sky at great speed with a war drum and a staff in his hand. The sound of the drum did not stop, but he immediately took over Julien's position and presided over the magic formation again. Julien died under Enkidu's fist, and an eighth-level supreme mage did not even have time to fight back. It took great courage to take over his position at this moment, but George did not hesitate.
The army could not, and he did not believe that Enkidu could fly up! He wanted to use the power of the magic formation to deal with Enkidu in the open space. Even if he could trap the continent's number one warrior, he could at least smash him to death with a scroll, right?
Enkidu was extremely bold and arrogant, but he was not reckless or stupid. As soon as George flew high into the air and stood still, he punched Ayi and then ran wildly, rushing out of Eygut's formation. His speed was much faster than the chariots in front of him. He swept his fists along the way, knocking away the chariots that were charging in front of him, and actually broke a gap in the middle of the vanguard of Eygut's army, and went straight to Ayi who had just landed.
If it had been a normal battle, before the two armies had officially started fighting, Eygut's side would have probably been defeated, because the commander of the army had been thrown out of the formation like a bag! How could the soldiers in the rear not?
At this time, a team rushed forward, filling the gap in the middle of the formation, and chased after Enkidu like crazy. This team of cavalry with dazzling armor was Ayi's personal guards trained in the An-Ra Legion, and the one in front was Medanzo. Medanzo had already leaped onto his warhorse, leading his personal guards to chase after Enkidu who was rushing towards Ayi. The armor and weapons of this personal guard were personally purchased by Ayi, and they were very light and portable, but their impact and defensive effects were stronger than heavy cavalry.
The personal guard was not afraid of Enkidu's power, and instead risked their lives to save the commander. Although they could not catch up, their morale was quite high. George took this opportunity to shout in the air, "All armies, engage! Commander-in-chief Ayi will kill Enkidu with his own hands! "
The soldiers at the frontline raised their weapons and shouted excitedly, and the speed of their charge finally reached its maximum. Just now, Enkidu threw three punches in a circle from the sky to the ground, but only the masters of the army and the nearby soldiers saw it clearly, and the rest of the soldiers on the entire battlefront did not notice. Everyone's attention was attracted by the first arrow shot by Gilgamesh, and Ayi's return arrow did not lose the slightest bit of face.
Hearing George's shout in the air, many people thought that Commander-in-chief Ayi was going to fight with Enkidu one-on-one to prove who was the real number one warrior on the continent! Didn't King Hittite give this title to Ayi? The soldiers did not have time to think about why the voice in the air was not Julien, but George.
Ayi flew out of the formation, and the ground in the middle of the battlefield suddenly seemed to be flattened by a giant hand. He operated spatial magic and air magic, and controlled his body to stand firmly on the ground. The chariots of the Ejyptian army were rumbling like thunder as they charged forward. At the front of the Ejyptian army, a burly man ran even faster than the chariots. He leaped high into the air and flew to the center of the battlefield, throwing a punch at Amon.
This Enkidu was targeting Ayi, and not satisfied after sending him flying, he rushed over and punched again. The power of this punch was not as strong as the first three, but it was still majestic, and no one dared to take it head-on. Ayi held his staff with both hands and swung it at Enkidu. This time, the staff did not directly hit, but there was a gust of wind around it.
Ayi's body swayed, and the light and shadow distorted, as if he had changed positions, but in fact, he was still standing in the same place. He used spatial magic to resist and dissolve the power of this punch, and at the same time, he felt a soreness in his joints. Enkidu landed on the ground, and the ground trembled slightly. He swung his fist at Ayi again. This kind of head-on fighting was almost impossible to resolve, and the explosive energy could dissipate the teleportation effect of spatial magic.
Ayi shouted and swung his staff forward. His fist and the staff were a few feet apart, and a white light burst out in the air, and with a bang, Ayi was knocked back a few steps before he could stand firm. Enkidu did not follow up with another attack, but suddenly turned around and punched behind him, and the power of the punch hit the tip of a sword that was stabbing straight at him.
It turned out that Medanzo had arrived. This guard captain was the fastest, and he had left the caravan and cavalry far behind. The battlefield was very noisy, and he used magic to conceal the sound of his horse's hooves as much as possible. Under the rumbling sound of the chariots, he arrived almost without a sound, and with the momentum of the galloping horse, he stabbed at Enkidu's heart from the back.
Medanzo used a magic heavy sword that disguised his staff as a sword hilt. The blade of the sword had a faint silver light, and there was a spiral of air swirling in front of the tip of the sword. He used his magic to cast spatial magic, and with the sharpness of the sword, it was the most difficult sneak attack to defend against.
But Enkidu did not let him succeed. He turned around and punched again with a golden light, and Medanzo's precious heavy sword was broken into pieces, leaving only a bare staff in his hand. The impact of the force swept Medanzo into the air, and the silver armor on his body also shattered, revealing the black scorpion shell armor he wore underneath. Medanzo flipped and landed not far away, but the horse he was riding was sent flying far away, and it was smashed into pieces by the wind of the fist. It did not even have the time to whine.
After knocking Medanzo back with his right fist, Enkidu turned around again and punched with his left fist. At this time, a silver light slashed at him from the side. It was Gabriel leaping into the air with a battle-axe in his hand, and fiercely chopped down. The wind of the fist and the battle-axe collided, and the silver light was scattered, and the battle-axe also had a bowl-sized hole. Gabriel somersaulted in the air, and his helmet fell to the ground. His long golden hair scattered, and fell to the other side.
Ah took out a battle-axe and a shield out of thin air and threw them to Gabriel, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Tire him to death!"
While shouting, he had already waved his iron staff and rushed towards Enkidu again. Medanzo pulled out the snake-tooth dagger from his waist and also rushed over. Gabriel naturally waved his shield and battle-axe and joined the battle. Ah's order was to "tire him to death", not "defeat him". The continent's number one warrior was simply unbeatable. They could only try their best to trap him, and Enkidu was not at his peak at the moment.
No one knew better than Ah how terrifying the power of Enkidu's three punches was. If it was someone else, they would have already exhausted themselves and needed to rest. There was a limit to human physical strength. One could stagger for a whole day, but a full sprint could only last for a very short time. Enkidu had just experienced a full sprint, so he must not be given a chance to catch his breath.
The four supreme warriors fought together, and the battlefield was filled with smoke and dust. Sand and stones flew everywhere, and no one else could approach. At this moment, the battle formations of both sides had finally reached their climax. After entering each other's range, arrows were shot out like rain. Then the chariots collided, and people and horses were thrown off their feet. The two armies clashed, and the sounds of weapons clashing could be heard everywhere. Screams and screams could be heard as the battle unfolded in full swing.
… …
The battle continued until the sun set in the west. In a war where cold weapons were used to kill each other, it was impossible for soldiers to wield their swords for an entire day. A normal person holding a heavy weapon in a fight would be exhausted in the time it takes to eat a meal. Official soldiers were at least warriors who had trained in body techniques. Their physical strength and endurance were certainly far superior to ordinary people, but it was impossible for them to sustain a high-intensity battle.
The regular legions were not a motley crew. Before they were routed, their offense and defense were organized. The frontlines were also organized, as they pushed forward step by step. Fresh reinforcements constantly poured into the battlefield to form new lines, covering the exhausted and injured soldiers as they retreated. In such a situation, commanding was very important. But when the battle began, the commanders of both armies did not command their troops.
Gilgamesh sat in his chariot with his eyes closed, as if he had entered a meditative state. The army around him rumbled as they advanced. The generals already knew the battle plan, so they just followed it step by step. On the other hand, Eygut's commander, Ashi, could not help himself. He was punched out by Enkidu and fell into a melee in the middle of the battlefield.
The commander of Eygut's side became the supreme mage George, who stood high up in the sky and gave orders to the entire army.
The first round of chariots from both sides did not break through the enemy's formation. After breaking through, the infantry phalanxes also entered the battle. The charging soldiers took turns advancing and retreating. The Uruk legion was truly powerful. George pushed almost all of his reserve troops to the frontline, and only then did he barely manage to stabilize his position. Taking advantage of the time when the enemy retracted their chariots, he launched a few more counterattacks.
Chariots required speed to display their superiority. Therefore, they couldn't all charge into the battlefield at once. They needed to take turns to charge under the cover of the infantry. The battle was like waves crashing into one another, abnormally bitter and desperate.
The chanting of the mages floated in the air, and a soft light sprinkled down. The most important function was to calm the soldiers' hearts and make them forget their fear. The second was to relieve the pain of the injured soldiers. In most battles, half of the injured soldiers died of shock caused by pain, not because their injuries were incurable.
The mages would also get tired. Every position in the magic formation needed to be rotated, except for the supreme mage George, who was always on the frontline. Eygut's army did not have the upper hand, and the battle was very difficult. The front line was slowly retreating, but it did not collapse. This was more or less out of Gilgamesh's expectations. The expedition this time had been like a hot knife cutting through butter, and only today did they encounter their first tough battle.
The mages of the Uruk legion were not idle either. They were doing the same thing as their opponents. Gilgamesh was still sitting there after the battle had begun. However, in the sky behind the Uruk legion, a figure appeared. He was cloaked in a colorful light, like a god. It was the figure of Gilgamesh.
Gilgamesh was still sitting in the chariot, but another Gilgamesh appeared in the sky. He became the center of the magic formation and gave orders to the entire army. Gilgamesh was not a god, but he was able to perform such a 'miracle'. George, who was far away in the sky, sighed. He did not have the ability to do so.
He could no longer describe what kind of magic it was. Message magic, spatial magic, energy magic, elemental magic? It could condense one's will to form an image of oneself, but it was not an illusion. While sighing, George also played a little trick. With a wave of his staff, he cloaked himself in a colorful light. It was just a simple message magic, but it did not seem to be lacking in prestige.
After a dozen rounds of charging from morning to afternoon, the soldiers on both sides were tired. The casualties of the Eygut legion were obviously higher, but as long as their camp did not collapse, the difference in casualties would not be too big. After all, to kill a thousand of the enemy, they would have to sacrifice eight hundred of their own. In the center of the battle, there was a vacuum. Sand and pebbles flew everywhere, making all kinds of loud noises. The four supreme warriors were still fighting.
The soldiers on the frontlines had been charging for a few rounds, but Ah, together with Medanzo and Gabriel, had been fighting with Enkidu until now. They did not even have a moment to rest. The soldiers were tired, and Ah was naturally tired as well.
Ah Wei was a seventh-level supreme warrior, but at the same time, he was also a seventh-level supreme magician. His diligence, endurance, magic power, and tenacity of will were almost unmatched by anyone else he had ever met. It was not only because of his talent, but also because of the hardships he had gone through. Ordinary supreme warriors, no matter how hard they trained, would not have experienced what Ah had.
But today, Ah had met his match. Enkidu was simply a tireless god of war. He did use all his strength in the first three punches, and after that, Ah did not give him a chance to breathe. He used all kinds of methods in the battle. There were all kinds of energy around their battle, and people outside could not see clearly. Even detection magic was disrupted.
The magic used by Ah and Medanzo were very simple. It was a combination of spatial magic and energy magic to enhance the power of a supreme warrior, but it also implied the magic power of a mage. This was the most effective way to deal with Enkidu. Gabriel, who was fighting, did not notice anything unusual, and she could also use magic to assist in the battle.
